ArcGIS Pro 2.7 API Reference Guide
GetWKBSize Method (GeometryEngine)
Example 

ArcGIS.Core.Geometry Namespace > GeometryEngine Class : GetWKBSize Method
A combination of WKBExportFlags which determines how the geometry is exported.
The geometry to export.
Returns the size of the buffer in bytes that will be required to hold the OGC well-known binary version of the input geometry.
Syntax
Public Function GetWKBSize( _
   ByVal exportFlags As WKBExportFlags, _
   ByVal geometry As Geometry _
) As Integer

Parameters

exportFlags
A combination of WKBExportFlags which determines how the geometry is exported.
geometry
The geometry to export.

Return Value

The size of the buffer.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
Geometry is null or empty.
The method is not implemented for GeometryBag or Multipatch.
The method is not implemented for geometry with curves.
Remarks
Does not support curves.
Example
// create a polyline
List<Coordinate2D> coords = new List<Coordinate2D>
{
  new Coordinate2D(0, 0),
  new Coordinate2D(0, 1),
  new Coordinate2D(1, 1),
  new Coordinate2D(1, 0)
};

Polyline polyline = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(coords, SpatialReferences.WGS84);

WKBExportFlags wkbExportFlags = WKBExportFlags.wkbExportDefaults;
WKBImportFlags wkbImportFlags = WKBImportFlags.wkbImportDefaults;

// export and import
byte[] buffer = GeometryEngine.Instance.ExportToWKB(wkbExportFlags, polyline);
Geometry geometry = GeometryEngine.Instance.ImportFromWKB(wkbImportFlags, buffer, SpatialReferences.WGS84);
Polyline importPolyline = geometry as Polyline;


// alternatively, determine the size for the buffer
int bufferSize = GeometryEngine.Instance.GetWKBSize(wkbExportFlags, polyline);
buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
// export
bufferSize = GeometryEngine.Instance.ExportToWKB(wkbExportFlags, polyline, ref buffer);
// import
importPolyline = GeometryEngine.Instance.ImportFromWKB(wkbImportFlags, buffer, SpatialReferences.WGS84) as Polyline;
